Archaeological Investigations Project 2003 Environmental Assessment East Midlands East Midlands Derbyshire 6/1 (D.17.Q001) SK 06707790 DOVEHOLES QUARRY AMENDED DEVELOPMENT SCHEME Doveholes Quarry Amended Development Scheme. Environmental Impact Assessment. Volume 1 of 4. Environment Statement RMC Aggregates North West Liverpool : RMC Aggregates North West, 2003, 138pp, figs, tabs Lead author: RMC Aggregates North West Date submitted: 03/98 Number of EIA contributors: 0 An environmental assessment was carried out in advance of a proposed limestone quarry extension. A desk-based review was carried out and identified four prehistoric sites located in the area occupied by Bee Low Quarry. Neolithic polished stone axes found there indicated that the site had possible ritual associations, as well as a Bronze Age barrow. There was little evidence for Roman or pre-Conquest archaeology within the area, however the potential for medieval evidence was high. Further archaeological mitigation was required if development went ahead. [AIP] 6/10 (D.32.Q007) TF 40309560 CONISHOLME FEN WIND PARK Environment Statement. Parts I and II of IV. Conisholme Fen Wind Park Ecotricity Stroud : Ecotricity, 2003, 153pp, colour pls, figs, tabs, refs Lead author: Ecotricity Date submitted: 05/03 Number of EIA contributors: 0 The assessment was carried out in advance of a proposed wind farm. A voluntary archaeological review was carried out in advance of a proposed wind farm. Results identified no Listed Buildings, Scheduled Ancient Monuments or Conservation Areas within the study area. Although no archaeological sites were located within the area, further mitigation was suggested. [AIP] Northamptonshire 6/11 (D.34.Q001) SP 49182744 BURTON WOLD WIND FARM Burton Wind Farm. Environmental Statement. Volume 2 of 4. Written Statement Dulas Ltd Wales : Dulas Ltd., 2003, 116pp, tabs, refs Lead author: Dulas Ltd Date submitted: 05/03 Number of EIA contributors: 9 Archaeological consultant: Cambrian Archaeological Projects Ltd. An archaeological desk-based assessment was carried out in advance of a proposed wind farm. A subsequent geophysical survey and field evaluation were also completed. The results were the identification of a late Iron Age/early Romano-British site with an associated enclosure, internal ditches and a series of pits. The site appeared to have gone out of use by the mid 2nd century AD. Further archaeological mitigation was suggested.

Part 6 Archaeology Trent & Peak Archaeological Unit Ibstock : Ibstock Bricks Ltd., 2003, 11pp, figs, refs Lead author: Ibstock Brick Ltd Date submitted: 01/03 Number of EIA contributors: 6 Archaeological consultant: Trent & Peak Archaeological Unit An archaeological desk-based assessment was carried out in advance of a proposed extension of clay extraction into the study area. Scattered evidence for prehistoric and Romano-British activity in the general vicinity was identified. There was no evidence for archaeological remains within the study area. Any archaeological remains within western and northern parts of the study area would have been removed by previous clay extraction activity. The south-eastern part of the study area, if also quarried would potentially also have archaeological remains which would be removed.

Environment Statement Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust Nottinghamshire : Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust, 2003, 91pp, refs Lead author: Nottinghamshire Wildlife Trust Date submitted: 04/03 Number of EIA contributors: 0 The assessment was carried out in advance of a proposed visitor and education centre. The proposed facilities would be on previously mined land and a car park, with no sub-surface changes so would have no negative impact on any archaeological deposits. There was a possibility that Holocene deposits would have been present on site and a scheme was planned in order to make an environmental record of the site.

It concluded that the study area had a low potential for archaeology. However the potential for the retrieval of archaeologically significant data was seen as quite high. A further scheme of detailed observation and recording was planned if the development went ahead.

The assessment identified a high probability that evidence of earlier workings relating to earlier mining activity would have survived within the study area. This was in the form of tips and a crushing circle. Apart from small areas of exposed/polished bedrock and stone walls, no extant archaeological features were recorded within the study area.

Environmental Statement: Non Technical Summary Rees, S Nottingham : Greenfield Associates, 2003, 37pp Lead author: Greenfield Associates Date submitted: 08/97 Number of EIA contributors: 8 Archaeological consultant: Oxford Archaeology An archaeological desk-based assessment, walkover survey and geophysical survey was carried out in advance of a proposed limestone quarry extension. The assessment concluded that the potential for archaeology from the prehistoric and early medieval periods was high. Both surveys did not identify any defined focus of archaeological activity but did locate surface finds. The overall conclusion was that the range of medieval and later medieval finds located within the study area were probably a result of manuring. There appeared to be little evidence for significant human/settlement activity within the study area.

Environmental Statement Enfusion Ltd Bradford on Avon : Enfusion Ltd, 2003, 163pp, colour pls, figs, tabs, refs Lead author: Enfusion Ltd Date submitted: 11/03 Number of EIA contributors: 7 Archaeological consultant: Lindsey Archaeological Services An archaeological desk-based assessment was carried out in advance of a proposed gas storage and oil recovery works in an area already used for oil extraction. Ridge and furrow field systems were identified. There were also a complex of prehistoric and Romano-British occupation features recorded near to the site resulting in potential for similar deposits being located within the study area. A further geophysical survey was suggested. [AIP] 6/5 (D.32.Q002) TF 17609440 STAINTON WIND ENERGY PROJECT Stainton Wind Energy Project.

Prehistoric and Roman findspots were identified within the vicinity of the site. Three of the sites proposed for the position of a wind turbine were within areas that contained surface finds in a fieldwalking survey.

Volume 1 of 3 Babtie Group Lincoln : Babtie Group, 2003, 144pp, figs, tabs, refs Lead author: Babtie Group Date submitted: 04/03 Number of EIA contributors: 0 Archaeological consultant: Lincolnshire County Council An archaeological desk-based assessment was carried out in advance of a proposed new road scheme. The results identified that the area effected by the scheme was an area of national archaeological significance. There were also a number of Listed buildings, a designated Conservation area and an operative Townscape Heritage Initiative Scheme within the area. Twelve sites of significance were identified directly within the study area and twenty-six in the general vicinity. The scheme was generally viewed as having a detrimental effect on the character and appearance of the area and would separate the southern part of the conservation area from
